Iggy may end up in Houston or Chicago.. just my opinion..

Because the type of offense I run is drive and kick and a bit more up tempo. I'm not the greatest posting up...especially with Boozer. The trade you mentioned....yes it would be better for my team. But my philosophy is always to overpay when in doubt. This may sound weird, but I want SOME holes in my team to give me something to work towards

I honestly think you have a better team without Boozer. Plus you freed up some cap space to go after Oden in F/A and slide Noah to the 4.

Lost two fairly close games to the Wolves and Clippers with my Knicks. After that Stoudemire got injured and he's out for the season. Randolph started in his place and the Rockets beat me 53-112. It was flat out embarrassing. We shot under 30% and no one could hit a shot to save their life. Immediately after the game I knew I had to make some moves. Called Andy Rautins up from the D-League and traded he and Raymond Felton away to the Celtics for Nate Robinson and Marquis Daniels. The Cavs gave me a 2011 and 2012 second rounder for Daniels and Robinson's going to be my starting point guard. I figured it's a little bit of an upgrade because he's a better scorer and playmaker. Plus I'm hoping getting Nate back will get the fans into it a little more.

Nate Robinson's ran the Knicks offense and led the team in the past. They weren't a good team then, but at least he's got the experience and can do it. And it's not like I've got a shot at Melo in a trade in the game, so if I want him I'm going to have to wait til the offseason and pray for a miracle haha. But at least Nate's an added piece that should make him want to come to New York, I like him running things down there and we'll see how the first game with him goes.

I know, it's cool lol. I mean I'm decent with Boozer. But he struggles against length and taller power forwards. (KG, Gasol, etc) Yeah his jumper is money.

But I like Melo because he can score in so many different ways, along with posting up. Doesn't hurt that he's my fave player.

My lineup is:

Rose
Affalo
Melo
Gibson
Noah

I'm loving the team. Melo scores at will usually in the first quarter. Defense adjusts and starts doubling, thats when Rose gets to action with dimes all over the place

That would've been highway robbery. Really not sure how the Wizards can get any of those players with their current team. Aside from Wall and Arenas, I don't see any other value players that can get you those type of players.

Kenny Cross is about to make his NBA debut with the Brooklyn Beach Badboys. The 6'7" 85 rated, 21-year-old SG is starting at PG. He has the athleticism to keep up with the fast PGs (85 speed, 88 quickness), and the size to create a mismatch.
